      On September 8, 1998, GreenMan Technologies Inc., ("GMTI" or the
"Registrant") acquired the scrap tire collection and processing assets
("Acquired Assets") of United Waste Service, Inc. ("United"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc. ("Republic"). The acquisition was made
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated September 8, 1998, by and among
GMTI, GreenMan Acquisition Corp., and United and included in this Report as
Exhibit 2. Further information about the aquistion reported herby may be found
in the Registrants' press release of September 8, 1998, included as Exhibit 99
to this Report. In consideration for the Acquired Assets, GMTI paid Republic (1)
$850,000 in cash and (2) issued to Republic $3,200,000 of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock is convertible into
shares of GMTI's common stock beginning in February 2001 based upon the higher
of (1) the trailing 15 day average closing bid (as defined) prices prior to the
conversion date or (2) the average of the closing bid prices during the period
from September 3, 1998 to February 3, 2001. GreenMan obtained the $850,000 cash
component of the purchase price through a loan from Heller Financial, Inc. This
loan is guaranteed by GMTI, GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc., two officers
and one former officer of GMTI and is secured by certain of the Acquired Assets.

                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Board of Directors
United Waste Services, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of divisional assets, liabilities and
parent's equity of United Rubber Recycling (Lawrenceville and Batesburg
facilities only), a division of United Waste Service, Inc. as of August 31,
1998, and the related statements of divisional income and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Division's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of United Rubber Recycling
(Lawrenceville and Batesburg facilities only), a division of United Waste
Services, Inc. as of August 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Division has been
operated as an integral part of its Parent's operations and is significantly
dependent on the parent corporation. Hence, the financial statements presented
may not be indicative of the results of operations that would have been obtained
if the Division had been operated as an independent entity.

Notes to Financial Statements

UNITED RUBBER RECYCLING (LAWRENCEVILLE AND BATESBURG FACILITIES ONLY), 
A DIVISION OF UNITED WASTE SERVICE, INC.

For the Year Ended August 31, 1998

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

The United Rubber Recycling (URR),a Division of United Waste Service, Inc. (the
Parent), operates scrap tire collection and processing facilities in
Lawrenceville, Georgia and Batesburg, South Carolina. Sales are concentrated in
Georgia and South Carolina.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying statements of divisional assets, liabilities and parent's
equity, divisional income and cash flows have been prepared from the books and
records maintained by the URR Division and its Parent. The statement of
divisional income and cash flows may not necessarily be indicative of the
results of operations that would have been obtained if URR had been operated as
an independent entity. The statement of divisional income includes allocation of
certain expenses from the Parent which are material in amount. Such expenses are
allocations for overhead. (Note B)

The Parent controls all cash balances and no separate cash balances are
maintained by URR. URR does not have any formal financing arrangements with its
Parent. However, cash needs are met by funds provided by the Parent, essentially
on a demand basis, to the extent funds are required by URR.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These
estimates and assumptions involve the areas of allowance for doubtful accounts
and expense allocations from the Parent. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Sales

Sales for tire collections are recorded when the tires are received. Sales from
tire material processing are recorded when the tire material has been shipped.

Equipment

The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives (5-10
years) of the related assets using the straight-line method.

Income Tax

Income taxes are allocated to the division at statutory rates.

Maintenance and Repairs

Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations when incurred.
Betterments and major renewals are capitalized.
